Oh hell no… You want the computer to decide where your files live??? Autosaving and saving are different things, you do need both
And version control on a filesystem is neat, but you’d still have to save it to a place. Perhaps you save it to a version controlled place, so you’re not version controlling things that don’t need to be tracked and filling up your entire disc when steam games update
It’s your responsibility as the human to make decisions like this. It can be made easier with tools and clean workflows, but if you let the computer do it automatically you’re giving up control and understanding
I mean… You can autosave everything temporarily under a temp filename. The program should treat it as unnamed, and then when you go to save it you then give it a location and a name
It’s probably the best workflow, it’s pretty common for code editors

It’s how we lose tech literacy
